Khmer Sight Foundation Volunteer

My strong commitment is to change my beautiful country, Cambodia into the positive direction. To accomplish this commitment I need to take many opportunities that benefit others and myself to share knowledge. On the November, 18, 2017 some of my friends and I volunteer to work with Khmer Sight Foundation (KSF) in Kompong Speu province. The KSF is help to eradicate avoidable blindness in Cambodia and improve vision and eye care and restore the gift of sight to many thousands of Cambodians. When I arrived Kompong Speu in Camkid school I got so excited to help my beautiful Cambodia people. There were over 100 people a lot of elders and some kids. Those people want to check their eyes and improve vision to see the world clearly. What we did was that first is testing their eyes and if they can’t see well we moved them to the next station to check what the problems they have with the eyes. Then check the blood pressure. The main focus KSF is the cataract and pterygium. My job was to write and gather all of the information people that comes (name, age, where are they from, and the eyes problems they have). Other hardest jobs are to convince and make the people in the community trust KSF to do their eyes surgery. Most of the elders need to do the surgery because their eyes have the cataract and pterygium. Khmer Sight Foundation decide to bring the first 10 people in the community to go and do the surgery. Some people decided to do the surgery and sadly some of them decide not to go. This is because some of them are busy taking care of the kids or wasted their time, they scared to do surgery, some of them didn’t feel comfortable to come, to Phnom Penh with strange people.

There were six people came with Liger students and KSF people to do the surgery. The grandma that came with us she felt nervous and not so comfortable because it is her first time. My friend and I tried to comfort her to make her feel better, and tell her that these doctors are very professional. The grandma named Nhok Mit, 69 years old. She already lost her left eyes and her right eye have cataract problem. I went and asked her she said “I lost my left eye two years ago. Before I lost my left eyesight, this eye has problem.  I just went to the random pharmacy to check my eye, and they give them medicine.” The more she drank medicine it gets worse and worse. Her family condition is so poor and can’t afford and come to the specialist. So the grandma gave up and have nothing to do with her eye, the result she lost her left eyesight. She also stated that “Before I lost my left eye I took care of my rice field and do farming every day because I need to find money for my family.” Sadly when she lost her eyesight she has to abundant her work because it so hard for her. One of the people that work for KSF said, the grandma made a right decision to come and do the surgery for her eye, and we help to change her entire life because if she not comes and did the surgery she will lose her right eye. This means her both eyes will blind. So before Nhok Mit (grandma) came to do the surgery it is so tough for her to make decisions because when she comes to Phnom Penh no one takes care of her and have kid at home that she needs to take care. We let her and her family decide one of the KSF workers and I told her if she does the surgery 95% she will get success, 4 percents will have damage and 1% will completely blind. Lastly, I went on the bus and then I saw her sitting in front of me with her son to go and do the surgery. I am so proud to volunteer with Khmer Sight Foundation to help Cambodian and share my knowledge with them.  

       

2016/2017 Yearly Reflection

This was my fifth year learning in Liger Leadership Academy (LLA) and it had been an amazing year for me. In the last four years I had changed Cambodia by so many different projects. This year there were even more interested projects that help to change this wonderful country, Cambodia. I’m sure there will be so many more things Cambodia need to be change. This year we were trying to find many more ways to change Cambodia to make this country developed. I am one of the LLA students and I had been in so many type of Explorations. The two Explorations that helped to improve Cambodian education and help the people in Cambodia to think deeply what are some ways they can change their own country. As everyone know to change Cambodia, it starts from us. The two Explorations are Change Agent and Filming in Government School. You might wonder why are those three projects changed Cambodia?

Everybody live in this world I’m sure they are working on different things and different projects. Some works that they are working on can helped their community, country or the whole world, but some people works were just for their own families. In this case, I’m going to talk about change agents and change makers. The Exploration I worked on was called Change Agent. Do you wonder what we did in this Change Agent Exploration. Firstivall, what does change agent means? Change agent is a person that create change to improve or develop the people, places and community better. For instance, Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) and Larry Page (invented Google). Our Exploration we tried to research and find the change agents or changemakers all around world and in Cambodia. After we found change agents or change makers, then we did the research about their life, work, project or business. Then, find the person contact, it cans be phone number, Facebook, or Email. Next, we wrote down ten best questions to ask the change agents or change makers, those questions must be useful. The next step is to write a perfect letters to ask change agents or change makers the permission, if they have free and can we interview them some questions? Most of us interviewed about three people and while we interviewed, all of us recorded the Videos. The question is how can this help to change Cambodia or the world? It is changing because after we made the Video we post that on Facebook and upload on Youtube so people all the around the world can watch it. After they watched it the information they can learned such as, make their perspective to think of changing the world (they are something they can change their country, or community). Also, it is a good lesson because most of the change agent they not always succeed but most of the time they fail. Those change agents or change makers can explain the tips and the keypoint to success. This Exploration I think it really great and want to continue in the future. It brings the world to more successful and it can makes people’s life better. I’m sure there will be some people interest to watch and learn from those successful change agents or change makers.   

I love to make film, writing screenplay and being the director of the movie. Some people live in this world might like to do something different. Some people like acting, directing movie, Camera man or woman, producer, editing and writing the script. So if we think a little bit further the students in the Government school, some of them might interested in films. Sadly, the curriculum they learn in class didn’t include films. Moreover, most of those students didn’t had fancy technology to shoot the movies to edit the movies. There was an Exploration called Filming in Government school. This project helped changing Cambodia because we selected about 20 students in two government schools that interested doing films. We teach all types or the roles in involved in filming. Things we teach them are: roles as director, producer, actor, editor, Cameraman and screenplay. We spend their time only three weeks, five days per week, in one day only 4 hours. All of those students need to finished everything in this three weeks. I think all of those students gain a lot of knowledge that they had no experience, and can finished the film on time. The film that they created is not that perfect, but as what I see they all worked so hard.This a part of changing Cambodia because it brings the students in government school to learn new things. Also, they can solved the problem they faced during making their movies. The students are all happily making their own movie. This is really inspiring other Cambodia to film.

In conclusion, Cambodia need to developed, and everything is start from us. So, this two Explorations is a part of the small step to begin with changing Cambodia. The Change Agent had subtitle so Cambodian can watch. They can take all of those useful advice or learning lesson to make their life to a better by watch they Video we created. On the other hand, Filming in Government all of those students really want to more filming next year. I’m also sure that so many more students want to join the filming. The students in government gain a lot of knowledge about filming and have so much fun. Next year I promise to do the project that is more interesting and make this country more beautiful.  

Literacy

In our literacy class, we learned how to write Slam Poetry. After we write our poem we perform it to our classmate, after that our class and teacher choose one person from each team to the final. I was one of the final people in my class.

Here is my poetry, I hope you enjoy reading.

We need rights

Black people, white people, girls, boys, men and women, poor people, rich
people, they are all human.
It doesn’t matter what language I speak
It doesn’t matter what I believe in
It doesn’t matter where I live
It doesn’t how I look
It doesn’t matter who I am
Because I am who I am
Who’s care?

So let start!! One by one
A. Spiritual traditions is like what you believe, B education is like light bulb, C
self-determination is like thing can build you up, D self respect is for losers
like rose, E self-esteem is like bucket of water, A language is like cracked
kettle, O media is like the weather, P employment is like a marriage, P
economic, P social development, V resource development, V self-
government, G health is like money, H, culture is like an iceberg, M
indigenous law, C customs is like foot binding, N executive agreement is
like a treaty, Q family is like a puzzle, Z responsibility is like a string, Z
identity is like an onion, X caring for country, M equality is like gravity, Z
respect for elders.

Everybody want all of theses things!! But they just can’t afford. This a part
of human right. People need rights for all of this and even more.
Why everybody keep fighting, hating?
What about those people who don’t have light?
They frightened, because no one give them right.
Human like candle in the wind
We can die in every second.
So they need their own right

Human right only two words with 10 letters
But billion billion million of people need this

People have right to eat
have right to sit
have right to do athlete
have right to read
have right to married
have right to do action, collaborations, comprehension, conversation,
meditations, demonstration.
right to live, liberty, personal security
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude.
WO WO WO, and their many million more of rights

Life is like the scale
Human weigh with different things
But still no one better than anybody
Black people are matter
Disability people are matter
Women are matter, women are the mother of earth
They can change the world
No one should judge
Our color, language or religion
Erase all racist and give value and more volume to all people.

This is sad to people that don’t have light, need something bright and
shine to the world.
Come on people everything is start from us.
We born to be equal, we want everybody to be equal, everybody are
equal.
Peace, peace everyone want peace.

RIGHTS, RIGHTS, RIGHTS… Human rights

The darkness needs light and bright shine to the world
The darkness needs light and bright shine to the world
Everybody want human rights
Everybody are equal
Everybody are equal
Make people shine shine shine.

THE DIARY OF MY LIFE UNDER THE KHMER ROUGE

All the thing that I learned from Khmer Rouge Exploration of different people and make to the diary of life under the Khmer Rouge. Here are the story that I wrote:

In 1975 I live in Phnom Penh with a very happy life. My family condition was very rich. My father was doctor. I was second oldest daughter in the family (I was 15 year old), I live two little brother (4 and 6 year old) and my sister was 18 years old and my mom was pregnant that time.

On 17, April, 1975 all of my family were forced to move even though my mom was pregnant. My mother doesn’t want to move she told them because she was pregnant. They not even listen to my mother and nobody can bring their personal stuff.

On the way my mother was giving the birth to the child, my father tried to help her, but the child not come out yet, but the Angkar saw that, so my father was executed because they knows he was a teacher. My mother have no more energy to let the child come out. All of sibling try to help her but we can’t so they both were die, all of us was crying. I have only two brothers and one older sister.

We arrived Prek Dom Bok village, Srey Santhor district, Kampong Cham province. We went to live with one old grandmother. Angkar told my sister to the work site because she old enough. The grandmother her job is to take care 40 small kids and she a really hard person. My both brother just live with grandmother. My job is to collect cow dung in the village.

In one month my sister came to visit 2-3 time only. By myself I can’t afford my both brother, so they get really really sick, because of not getting enough nutrition and health care. They get weaker and weaker, in the same week they both die.

In 1976 my grandmother got a very hot fever and so hungry. I don’t know what to do, so I decided to ask Angkar for some medicine. They hit me so hard about 30 minutes, my body get really hurt and can’t walk. They tie my hand so tight and leave me in a very small room without food for 2 days. I told myself I’m not going to survive, after I came out of that room I got no more power. I went back home to see my grandmother, but I didn’t saw. I started to cry, I don’t know where she went. I feel really sorry to myself that I can’t come back to give the medicine to her. I went to ask the neighbor near my house and they said she got killed by eating a poison animals. When I just heard that I got into burst of tear.

After that I didn’t hear anything of my older sister, I miss her a lot because I live alone. In 1977 at that time I got so so hungry,then I went to find food, I walked slowing down the road, then I met one of the member of Angkar. I was so scared and shaking, he ask me rudely, “where are you going and what are you doing here” he said. I lie him that I saw one man stealing the stuff of Angkar so I tried to follow him. So I told him to go to the east direction. After that I ran so fast and find the way to go. Finally got into the forest alone and lost the way to go back home. Then I met one guy named Sorith and he bring me to live with him.

In 1978 I lived with Sorith I have a very difficult life because Angkar forced me to do farming because they think that I’m old enough. They hit and forced me so hard because I don’t really know how to do farming. At night I was crying and no one knows my feeling. One day I was so hungry, I pick the leave I saw to eat. Then I got a sickness because I didn’t get enough

1979 after Khmer Rouge end, I tried to find my sister but I couldn’t. I feel so regret, I really don’t want to think all of those memory, but I just can’t forget it. I remember people not give me freedom and force me so hard.
